It's just a mud house.
The foundation was approved by the brigade, and with Lu Xinghe's reputation, it is estimated that people in the village will come to help for free in terms of materials and labor.
Taking into account the wood and fodder, Liu Xisheng wouldn't have to spend much money just to sell his reputation at the forest farm.
It would be enough to scrape off some of the substandard wood from last winter's felling mission.
All in all, including treating everyone to a meal, ten dollars is enough.
But for this brick house, the foundation must first be dug deep.
The delay will be more time.
It costs a lot more to feed the staff every day.
And since red bricks have been used, the furniture must naturally be replaced with red ones.
The furniture at that time did not contain any particle board. Instead, it was made of pure solid wood and was handcrafted by carpenters.
Taking into account the materials and labor, this is another considerable expense.
So one thousand dollars is really not a lot.
"You kid, once you're polite, there's nothing wrong with you. Red bricks and cement, I'll go find a way to see if I can get some from the forest farm.
The price could be a little higher if the materials were available. At this time, all the men in the village are idle.
Light a fire in the back and start work as soon as possible. ”
Director Chen sat aside and watched Lu Xinghe and his wife's performance and liked it more and more.
The husband sings and the wife follows, and they are both very smart.
Seeing that life is pretty good, a thousand dollars is not even a big deal.
The people in the village were not surprised that Lu Xinghe could come up with a thousand yuan.
It can be said that no matter from which perspective, this guy is a character.
Such a big thing as building a house was actually decided before the New Year.
This is a huge matter.
Lu Xinghe didn't even need to make any arrangements. The aunts who were still making hair flowers all ran back home and started talking to their husbands.
For men, the winter in Northeast China is a time of peace and quiet, a time for rest and recuperation.
If women have a side job, they can still make money.
Men are really bored at home.
On weekdays, women are the ones who cook and clean the house.
But now, if the aunts go home and don’t have a hot meal to eat, their noses will definitely not be noses and their eyes will not be eyes.
Even during the baby-making activities at night, the aunts were reluctant to make any noise.
This caused all the men in the village to begin to doubt their own abilities and status.
When he heard that there was work to do, he didn't even have time to put on his sweater. He just put on his cotton coat and ran towards the palace.
Lu Xinghe's family is a real local tycoon.
They hunt black bears and sell wild boar meat.
Even cars, which are rarely seen in the county, can be parked in front of her house.
"Xinghe! You've made great progress. You're going to build a brick house. I've been so idle lately that I've had boils on my butt. I can build you a house even in the middle of winter!"
"Hahaha, I'm a carpenter by heritage, so just leave the cabinets and stuff to me, Koko!"
"When are you going to build the house? We don't want any wages, just a lunch, and it would be even better if there's wine."
"You bastard, they just got married, it must be hard, go home and eat, I will cook for you!"
“…”
Lu Xinghe was really happy now, and hurriedly gave the big front door he got from Secretary Kong to the man.
"Eating is eating, wages are wages, as long as the house can be built, I will have a grand feast in the house for three days!"
Building a house is a big project after all, and there is a lot to say about it.
Is there anything hidden on the beam? Is the foundation solid?
Moreover, generally speaking, if someone in a village has a problem, the whole village will go to help.
But this is equivalent to exchanging work for work.
It's a matter of mutual favor.
The goodwill that his mother had with the people in the village had long been used up by his eldest brother and Cao Guizhi.
Lu Xinghe is so shameless that he asks everyone for help for free.
In the future, people in the village will criticize you for what you have done.
This person established the relationship between He Xiaoyu and the people in the village.
Can't destroy it anymore.
"Hahaha, Xinghe is particular, and you old Lu family are very down-to-earth."
"Yes, if you have wages, you don't have to worry about food. We can bring our own food. I'll let your aunt help you cook!"
The whole village hasn't been lively for a long time, so let's help Lu Xinghe.
The whole village raised their hands and feet in applause.
There is no need for anyone to take the lead.
As soon as the matter of building a house was agreed upon, most of the gentlemen in the village who had nothing to do came out to do it.
They spontaneously went to the marked area to clear the snow.
Pick up the straw for feeding the cows, light a big fire, and soften the soil.
After seeing Director Chen off, Lu Xinghe saw that everyone was working enthusiastically. With a wry smile, he asked Liu Xisheng to borrow the brigade's canteen.
A while ago, Director Wang asked someone to give the money for the batch of meat sold to the forest farm to Liu Xisheng.
Lu Xinghe simply didn't want it. Less than four hundred yuan was enough for the wood, stones, red bricks and cement needed to build a house.
Even if you add them all together, they may not be enough.
Lu Xinghe had no shortage of meat and vegetables at this time.
The potatoes and radishes planted in the space have matured, and the green onions are also growing amazingly.
The large bones that were shaved off the wild boar meat were originally intended for Lai Fu and the others to eat.
This time they were all used.
Throughout the afternoon, the aunties who had finished embroidering the red head flowers spontaneously stayed to help with the cooking.
The three big pots were all filled with hot wild boar bones with a layer of oil floating on them, which looked very pleasing to the eye.
Wang Daiba also brought Shen Xiaomei to help.
After not seeing her for a few days, Shen Xiaomei's butt seemed to have undergone a secondary development and had grown a circle bigger.
She is almost two years older than He Xiaoyu.
Wang Daiba was so weak that he couldn't even lift the handle.
"Xiaoyu, where is the red cloth you left behind? The aunts are here, let's make the quilt you will use in the future."
Several aunts who had no work found some cotton from their homes that they were reluctant to use and spread it in the brigade's house without feeling any regret.
"Well...my mom said we can just do it ourselves."
"Haha, my dear mother, the young master has found a daughter-in-law. By the way, your mother hasn't come back yet?"
The aunts looked at each other, and regardless of He Xiaoyu's refusal, they pulled her towards home.
"Yeah, Xinghe said he would pick her up in the next few days. I miss my mom a lot, too."
Of course, He Xiaoyu also missed her sister whom she hadn't seen for half a month.
This is the first time that the two of them have been together for such a long time.
"Okay, I'll take her back. I'll see. She's been pretty well behaved lately. She's showing signs of pregnancy. She picks up firewood and cooks for herself every day. She looks pretty pitiful."
I can't mess with you anymore. ”
We are all from the same village, there is no privacy at all.
The entire team would be better off without those few bad apples.
The whole village is united in purpose, and everyone in the village smiles more often.
"Well, we don't worry about that."
"That's fine. Hehe, does our Xinghe Wan have time? I heard that Old Lady Chang even asks him to tell her fortune. If you have time, can you tell my Goubian whether he can get admitted to the woodworking factory?"
At this moment, Lu Xinghe, who had just come back with a few cigarettes, heard these words.
My eyes are about to roll up to the sky.
This old lady Chang definitely did it on purpose.
But Aunt Dong's eldest son Goubian, not to mention, not only passed the exam to work in the woodworking factory, but also became the son of the same name.
He seduced the daughter of the director of the woodworking factory. . . .
